Hey everyone,
I am installing a bamboo floor and I could really use a floor nailer. Would anyone happen to have one I could use this Sunday? I have access to an air compressor already.
Sorry about the late notice.
Thanks,
Nick Venstra

Celebrate the Maker Movement!
On June 18, 2014, a special-edition Maker Faire will take place at the
White House where the nation will join together to celebrate a Day of
Making. During the White House Maker Faire, select makers will show off
their projects and talk with the President about making and it's impact on
their lives.
Making a difference:
As the White House prepares to hold its first-ever Maker Faire, we are
committed to working with others in our community and with institutions to
advance one or more of the following goals to promote Making, including:
- To foster a local community of makers who participate in events,
workshops, and outreach to grow a vibrant local maker community that is
open and inclusive.
- To create and sustain makerspaces that serve all youth in our
community. We recognize the need for makerspaces in schools, libraries,
museums and other community-serving organizations.
- To provide mentorship and support for students to develop projects
that support the engaging, hands-on learning in the classroom and outside
class.
- To help organize school-based Maker Faires that showcase student
projects for the local community;
- To provide mentorship and support for makers who are starting new
businesses or expanding existing businesses;
- To recognize and celebrate makers as well as the contributions of
those who organize the local maker community.
- To participate in local and regional efforts to create a productive
Maker ecosystem that involves companies, investors, skilled volunteers,
state and local officials, libraries, museums, schools, after-school
programs, labor unions, and community-based organizations.

Subject: [Bloominglabs-announce] Exciting news: Bloominglabs has a new home!!
Message-ID:
Good news everyone,
Bloominglabs has signed a lease for a 3100 square foot warehouse on South Rogers Street! We will be officially moved in by August 1st.
This move is in cooperation with the City of Bloomington. As part of the Switchyard Park project the city has purchased a lot which includes several warehouses, one of which will be ours. This location will allow easy access to the B-Line Trail and is just down the street from Sweet Grass Restaurant and the Community Kitchen. For those that know the area, currently the property has a number of shipping containers on it, however the owner of the containers is moving them out and they should all be gone within a few more months.
This new space has ample parking, offers MUCH easier access from downtown Bloomington, and as mentioned earlier is very near the B-Line Trail. And of course the main feature is that it will be more than DOUBLE our current square footage.
Over the next month we will be making changes to the warehouse to facilitate our use of it. We could use assistance sourcing cheap materials, if anyone has a lead on the following items it would be helpful:
* Cheap or used building supplies, we need to build walls (2x4's, plywood, drywall, etc)
* Used/cheap 4' fluorescent lighting fixtures (8' fixtures would be acceptable too)
* Used/cheap electrical conduit, Romex (AC wiring), etc
For questions, comments, and leads on the above materials please let us know at contact at bloominglabs dot org. You can see a satellite view of the location here:
